After World War Two, Hong Kong saw an influx of refugees from mainland China. Penniless, many of them could only live in wooden huts they built and one of these squatter villages was located at Mount Davis, an area on western Hong Kong Island. In 1983, a powerful typhoon hit Hong Kong, triggering a landslide in the squatter area. A firefighter was killed during the rescue operation and the colonial government cleared the squatters afterwards.
